A.J. Green unlikely to play Sunday for Cardinals vs. Panthers

Cardinals WR A.J. Green is expected to miss Sunday’s game with the Panthers with a bone bruise injury suffered in Week 3’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

It has not been the season A.J. Green or the Arizona Cardinals had hoped for when he re-signed a one-year deal with the team following an 800-plus yard season.

In three games played, Green has five receptions for 29 yards. Now, he’s dealing with a bone bruise that is expected to keep him out of Week 4’s crucial matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

When asked about Green’s availability, Kliff Kingsbury had the following to say:

“It looks doubtful unless he really, really comes around he’s probably not going to be available.”

The Cardinals have a size issue at the receiver position, assuming Green does miss Sunday’s contest. The team currently does not have a receiver over 5-9 on the active roster.

More than that, however, is the lack of depth at the receiver position, as the team continues to be without DeAndre Hopkins. Second-year Rondale Moore, however, is progressing the right way, as he was limited in practice Wednesday.

There is currently no time set on Green’s return from injury.

Cardinals hoping to get WR Rondale Moore back for some role vs. Panthers

Moore has not yet played this season with a pulled hamstring. He was limited in practice on Wednesday.

The Arizona Cardinals enter Week 4 with not many healthy or available players at wide receiver. DeAndre Hopkins is suspended for three more games, Antoine Wesley is on injured reserve, A.J. Green has an injured knee and Rondale Moore hasn’t played yet this season with a hamstring injury.

Moore was officially limited on the first injury report of the week and was seen by reporters during the open part of practice Wednesday.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is not sure Moore will be fully healthy but there is the hope that he will be able to offer something this weekend against the Carolina Panthers.

“(Moore) was limited some, but it was good to have him back out there,” Kingsbury told reporters after practice. “Hopefully he progresses to the point we can get something out of him Sunday. I don’t know to what extent yet.”

With Green likely missing the game, Kingsbury already said on Sunday after their 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that they would not push Moore back too quickly just because Green is out. They want him healthy enough to play and want to be smart.

The Cardinals have two days left of practice to try and figure things out with Moore and their other injured players.

OL Justin Pugh, LB Zaven Collins should play vs. Panthers

After a first-half elbow injury, Pugh played in the second half vs. the Rams. Kliff Kingsbury says Collins “should be okay.”

The Arizona Cardinals could be missing another pair of starters when they take on the Carolina Panthers this coming Sunday, as receiver A.J. Green suffered a bone bruise and defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence injured his hand and had surgery Monday, but it could have been worse.

Two starters who exited the game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, should be good to go this week against the Panthers.

Starting left guard Justin Pugh exited the game with an elbow injury in the first half but returned to the lineup after halftime and finished the game.

On Monday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Pugh would be day-to-day.

“I’m hopeful he can play on Sunday,” he said.

Collins injured his shoulder on the play the Rams scored their final touchdown in the fourth quarter.

“I think Zaven should be okay,” Kingsbury said. “We’ll see how he feels on Wednesday, but it didn’t seem to be too serious today when I saw him.”

Cardinals DL Rashard Lawrence to miss time after hand surgery

The Cardinals will be down a starting defensive lineman at least one week as Lawrence had hand surgery Monday.

The Arizona Cardinals will be down a defensive lineman this next week as they prepare to take on the Carolina Panthers. Defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence will miss time with a hand injury.

Lawrence had hand surgery Monday, Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Monday.

“I’m not sure of the exact timetable, but he won’t play this week,” he said.

Lawrence injured his hand in the second half of the Cardinals’ 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He played 19 defensive snaps in the game.

He landed on injured reserve each of his first two seasons in the NFL. Hopefully, he only has to miss a game or two. With him out, Jonathan Ledbetter will get to play. He has been inactive for each of the last two games.

Lawrence did nor register a tackle in the game on Sunday. Through three games, he has four tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

Cardinals WR A.J. Green could miss Week 4 vs. Panthers with bone bruise

The Cardinals could be down another receiver in Week 4.

The Arizona Cardinals already have been dealing depth issues at wide receiver. The depth could take another hit this week.

A.J. Green, who exited Sunday’s 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams with a knee injury, could miss this week’s game against the Carolina Panthers.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury, speaking to reporters Monday, indicated there is some concern he will miss time, although the news was fairly good.

“I’m not sure exactly where it sits,” he said. “It sounds like it’s better news. It’s a bone bruise, but I’m not sure if that’s going to be this week or maybe next week when he is back.”

The Cardinals are already missing DeAndre Hopkins. suspended the first six games of the season for testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance, Antoine Wesley, who is on injured reserve at least one more week, and Rondale Moore, who has missed three weeks with a hamstring injury.

They take on the Carolina Panthers Sunday at 1:05 p.m. Arizona time.
